What a great day. Did a 4 mile walk. The views and scenery are outstanding. Everyone should do this. It cost $10 for a reservation and its well worth it. I could post 50 pictures but I wont bore you. Just a few haha.

Really amazing visit. Great for a hike/walk, especially at sunset. 10$ for parking, but definitely worth the fee. Unfortunately, the park closes at exactly sundown with a 15 minute grace period until the front gate is padlocked. However, I stayed for only 30 minutes afterwards to catch the last glimmers of sunset horizons just outside the gate. Honestly, just be mindful since when I left, there were some questionable parties parking there, one that almost slammed into my door while I was packing to leave. Day time trip totally recommended.

This place is true Gem. Lots of trails for for kids friendly hiking, bird watching. Great views of the ocean. Be sure to to hike the rocky neck, its a great place with lot of views and rocks. First timers make sure to have a copy of the map with you for easy navigation, I wish they had numbered the intersections for easy navigation around the property.

A great place to unwind and breathe in some fresh air. Parking is limited, and you have to reserve beforehand under Covid rules. Its usually not very crowded, and you can enjoy a quiet atmosphere. An excellent place for birdwatching, so take your binoculars and camera.

It was a nice walk for about 2 hours. Nice nature views and nice view of the skyline of Boston. During the Covid times, we drove 90 minutes only to find out you need a reservation & they only allow 40 cars at a time, so we had to drive back. The next weekend we found out that if you live in the neighborhood you can just walk in and park your car somewhere else and nobody will stop you. Take that chance if you will. “BUT” if I had known that the first time I may have parked around the corner and took that chance than drive another 3 hours.Would I go back: sure if I had nothing else to do. There is a huge national park near by, do that instead is my opinion, tons of parking and no restrictions.

Beautiful place to walk. Recommend early fall, and do be careful to get out before sunset as they do promptly shut the gate and youll be stuck in there.

Beautiful park with skyline views of Boston and the ocean. Wonderful walking and running trails that are easy and great for the whole family! Lovely water views of Hingham & Hull Harbors, idyllic tree-lined walkways alongside grassy fields to soak up the sun, and a quaint boardwalk by a marsh to contemplate a somewhat more desolate setting amongst barren trees. A serene locale to commune with nature!

Worlds End is a very nice spot, mainly comprised of two large hills that are linked by a small sandbar. there are no bike racks, disappointingly. this property is managed by the Trustees of Reservations and has a nominal entry fee. it is a nice place to walk and have a picnic with water views.

Poor website directions. Its located at Martin Lane so follow that destination .No swings or gift shops purely for walking because of corona found lack of landscaping. Grass was tall but overall good place away from hustle & bustle of boston ,peaceful & calm

Beautiful place for a hike or a picnic. Parking can be very hard, but if you go on a weekday that won’t be a problem. Parking is $8 to park in the lot. Great views of Boston and Boston Harbor. Well kept trails and benches. Great place!! Going back again!

A beautiful location to take a stroll. If you have a toddler, you may want to bring a carrier. Paths have pebbles and make for a bumpy ride!

Love worlds end. Had some magical days here. Not to miss!!! Beautiful views! And if you are not in a rush even better. You will have enough time to really explore and see this place. They close little early, so try to get here early so you won’t get stressed. Magical place for magical times.

I am very surprised why this doesnt appear in any of the top to-do lists for Boston. The park and trails are beautiful and the view of Boston across the water was outstanding. If I lived here I would certainly become a member.

This is just a great place to visit and go for a nice long walk. Offers a spectacular view of the Boston skyline seen from the Harbour islands. There is an entry fee here (8$) for non-members which felt reasonable for how well maintained this place is.

A really nice place to hike around! Beautiful greenery, trees, wildflowers, & views of the water & Boston. It costs $8 per person to get in unless you have the Trustees season pass. Parking is free. They provide trail maps. Dogs on leash only. They have benches for seating at nice viewpoints!

When I was looking at a place near Boston to propose, I couldnt find a better place than the Worlds End. This place will always be special to me. I visited a few times before bringing my wife and it was never too crowded.They do charge money to get in, which helps keep people away. The park rangers dont like when you stay later than 6PM.

Even though it’s a relatively small location, World’s End offers a plethora of different views from serene forests to Boston Harbor. There are some slight increases in elevation which can make an easy hike more difficult. Plenty of small coves and swimming holes to be found. There are several very wide paths for those who would like to bring a dog or small children. The trustees are currently expanding and renovating the entrance and parking areas of the park. I will be back!

About one hour from Boston, this property feels like its world away. Easy walking trails. Beautiful views over the water to Boston and Hull. We were there in late April and counted 24+ bird species. Great day trip to get out of the city, stroll through meadows and spend some time by the sea.

This place is a true gem; lovely escape from the urban landscape and worth a walk around. It is sort of like a smaller version of acadia national park!

I can honestly say I love going to Worlds End. It is scenic, peaceful, and welcoming. I especially love how I can walk my dog here. The views are spectacular and on a good day you can see Boston from Planters Hill. There is a good amount of parking but on busy days I expect it can get crowded.

Very large open green space just minutes from Boston and right around the corner from Hull, Worlds End is an excellent place to spend a few hours hiking or biking on a sunny day with friends or family. Beautiful ocean views combined with open meadows and wooded forest, this place has a little bit of everything. Be aware, they do charge an entrance fee.

Great view of the Boston skyline at the top of the hill! It can be windy so pack a jacket. Walk along the seashore or check out the little boardwalk along the salt marsh.Parking can be tight on the weekends - they dont have enough spots

First of all, the park is called World’s End. Sometimes I feel like going just because it sounds adventurous. (Is that weird? LoL)It’s a 40-min drive for me to get here. Always worth it. They have a handy little map with all of the pathways you can take, including the # of miles (e.g., .53, .2) that each path covers. Especially awesome for determining which routes to choose if you are short on time.Pictures taken on a late December afternoon, near Christmas 2019. We strangely but satisfyingly had low 50 degree weather. #winningwinterLove,Joya

Very nice place to walk around nature and it has really nice views.If you would like to start doing hiking its a perfect place to start to train yourself. It has easy path ways, some not so deep slopes and easy trails. Plus the views are amazing close to sunset. It is also a good place to have a picnic. Sometimes they organize some events in the park that are open to public.

The skyline was amazing with a view of boston looming in the distance, as well as picturesque hull. I really loved all the carved paths winding their way around such beautiful conservation land, at one hill there is an obelisk for the founder, I took lots of pictures and Ill add a few, its a real nice place.

This is the most serene place around. You dont have to be a member but there is a small fee to enter, honestly after visiting once youll want to become a member. There are so many paths to walk or run on, bumpy but fine. There are fields of flowers, blooming pink trees, wildlife, marsh, a view of the water; literally anything you could want to look at in nature is there. It is such a great and safe place to adventure around. Very family friendly. They even have different children groups and events that take place there too!

World’s End holds such a special place in my heart. My fiancé proposed to me here in late December...the views are spectacular year round. Only bone I have to pick is that it is not wheelchair accessible....the paths, at least at the entrance, are made up of loose rocks.
